Featuring a Performance with Sounds & Stories by Guy Forsyth and Jeska

Lots of talented people fall in love and start making beautiful music together. But not many of them pull it off like Guy Forsyth and Jeska. Since becoming co-conspirators in life and song, they’ve proven that the whole can indeed be even greater than the sum of its formidable parts. For Forsyth, Conspirators is the latest in a long string of albums. For Jeska, it was her first recording. But before relocating to Austin and joining her love onstage, she owned a club in her hometown of San Angelo, Texas, and sang in a blues band, in addition to doing acting, voice-over and photography work.

Raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Forsyth migrated to Austin in 1990, and quickly made his musical mark. He became a regular onstage at Antone’s, formed the Asylum Street Spankers, went solo, formed the Hot Nut Riveters and a blues band, toured the world, won many Austin Music Awards (including winning 2019 honors for Best Blues/Soul/Funk Band and Best Miscellaneous Instrument-harmonica, and 2018’s Best Male Vocals award) and toured the world some more. He’s also known as one of Austin’s few saw players. Mixing humor, irreverence, devotion and a deep knowledge of musical history, he’s earned his status as one of the city’s top talents — a status he now proudly shares with his favorite partner in, well, everything.
